washing lines

Carpets and moquette

Our research and development department is always committed to the research, study and design of innovative washing lines. We are proud to be the only company in the world to have designed and implemented a new technology for the washing and recycling of carpets and moquette.

Every stage, from the conception and design to the production and assembly, is managed in-house by our highly qualified staff. This optimises productivity, reduces waste and ensures high energy efficiency and water sustainability.

Line

INNOVATIVE WASHING

All our recycling solutions are customised because the configuration of a washing line can be very different, depending on the type and degree of contamination of the plastic material to recover.

Washing lines are divided into several stages, depending on the characteristics of the input material. In general, carpet and rug recycling lines designed by Recy Technologies are divided into several main stages:

Sorting and grinding

This stage is designed and carried out with special care as it is essential to sort, either manually or automatically, and grind materials accurately. This ensures an excellent operation of the line and high-quality final product.

This processing cycle consists of robust and easy-to-maintain machines capable of processing difficult materials with high contamination rates, and the composition of the machinery depends on the type of input material.

Pre-washing and washing

Our lines are customised and can include either a water or a dry prewashing and either a cold or a hot washing, depending on the type and quality of the input material. This way, we guarantee an excellent sorting and washing of the material, and, at the same time, energy efficiency and low water consumption.

Our innovative hot washing line self-generates heat and does not require heating systems for water and steam production, with associated electrical costs and maintenance issues. It is also capable of removing all kinds of impurities and printing inks, which is essential to obtain a high-quality granule. Moreover, thanks to our lines, it is possible to obtain an odourless ground and/or granule without the use of extra chemical additives.

Drying and granulation

At this stage of processing, the machines remove most of the water left in the product, reaching an amount of moisture inferior to 1%. This way, we are able to minimise energy and operational costs during the granulation stage

Due to the very low moisture content, we are able to perform excellent homogenisation and granulation through single-screw or twin-screw systems up to 4 degassings.
